Due to the recent seizure of megaupload.com by the FBI, most of my (legal) files (under EU law where this blog originates and in accordance with the Copyright Act
of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107) are no longer accessible.

I feel that the U.S. Government/the FBI is TOTALLY
ABUSING its powers by negating CITIZENS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES the right
to use a LEGAL SERVICE THEY HAVE PAID FOR!!!!

I have heard that EF (Electronic Frontier
Foundation) is helping to get U.S. users to get their legally stored
Megaupload files back (if they're still on the servers) -- but what
about international users?

Is there any way to sue the FBI for not allowing me to use a (legal) service I have paid for, with hard-earned money?
